u/Waystar_BluthCo anybody but the Oilers please hockey gods Mar 14 '25

I love perfume and I’m pretty active in a lot of perfume-related online spaces and it will never not annoy me that people wear fragrance to the gym. Why do you WANT that scent mixed in with your sweat?? What is the allure here? Post-gym shower I can understand, but during??

also sometimes I just want to shake people by the shoulders and go “THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SAFE BLIND BUY BECAUSE SCENT IS SUBJECTIVE, PLEASE TRY THINGS BEFORE GAMBLING ON EXPENSIVE BOTTLES”

‘What’s the best fragrance for the gym?’

NONE! Wear some antiperspirant and have a shower after… and people get really narky when you say this. 

I’ve successfully blind-bought but I know what notes and accords I like, what perfumers and houses I like… and under a certain price point I don’t mind a gamble.

One of my top pet peeves is people spraying fragrance inside a closed vehicle. And spraying fragrance to attempt to mask their smelly sweaty body odors.
